Wow, beautiful! Can I ask what is PC?? You bought a full size bird? We are new to this and have only bought day old chicks.

PC is a member here, PurpleChicken, and is also one of our very good friends. Those were the only BBS orps. he had.

I don't think you can get day old BBS orps. from hatcheries, only Buff and White, unless of course you hatch them yourself, or buy them from a breeder.

I see!! Thanks!

I was looking at buying some 4 month old blue cochins from a member here glenda in TX, but I was a little uncertain how it would work out. Do lots of you get birds from one another? Do bigger birds ship ok?

Thanks so much!!

BBS stands for Blue, Black, Splash.

I've had birds shipped to me before and I've shipped birds before. Actually I am shipping a buff brahma to Washington state hopefully within the next week and a polish roo to Texas. If your getting 4 birds, they will probably have to be shipped in 2 boxes, 2 birds in each, depending on their size, are they standard or bantam?

Standard blue cochins. She said 50 to ship them?
